Some of them also refuted government reports that the estate was one of the COVID-19 hot spots in Nairobi that needed urgent intervention.

"If indeed it was true coronavirus was here, three quarter of ares residents would be sick today. That means this estate is free of the virus,"one male resident said.

The sentiments were shared by several others who dared to speak on live camera.

"Kangware has no coronavirus case otherwise all these people would be infected. Let them lift ban of closure of businesses so that we can continue with our daily businesses. We have been moving around and nothing is happening," another woman added.
